Abstract
The g factor and 4π Ms for epitaxially grown Fe16N2(001)/In0.2Ga0.8As(001) films have been investigated by ferromagnetic resonance along with Fe films for comparison. Angular dependence of the resonance fields in the film plane of Fe16N2 films had four-fold symmetry, which was attributed to the in-plane anisotropy. The g factor for Fe16N2 films was about 2.0, which means that the magnetic moment originates mainly from spin. Thus, nothing unusual is seen about the g factor. The g factor for Fe films was about 2.1, which is very similar to the value reported previously. 4πMs values for Fe16N2 and Fe films were 2.8×104 and 2.1×104 G, respectively, which agree well with the previous data obtained by a vibrating sample magnetometer. This confirmed that Fe16N2 has a giant magnetic moment. Torque magnetometer measurements showed that Fe16N2 films have a larger perpendicular anisotropy of 7.8×106 erg/cm3, which can originate from its bct structure.
